Just came across a real story of Ella Dunmore from ABIOMED... Thought to share about it...
Ella Dunmore, who is a mother and former soldier, made the decision to seek medical attention, she had been experiencing headaches, chest pain, and shortness of breath for several weeks. Ella was advised to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery after a local hospital team discovered a critical blockage in her left main artery. However, Ella was concerned about undergoing invasive open-heart surgery and sought a second opinion.
She was referred to Dr. Amir Kaki, an interventional cardiologist at Ascension St. John Hospital in Detroit and director of mechanical circulatory support. Additional blockages were discovered by Dr. Kaki, and Ella's heart had a reduced ejection fraction of 45%. After that, he decided Ella was a good candidate for an Impella®-protected PCI procedure. Dr. Kaki implanted Impella CP® on March 18, 2021, while he cleared blockages and inserted stents. Ella went back to her house the following day.
Ella is feeling better today, and her ejection fraction, which is 60 percent, is normal. She works out three times a week, enjoys nature once more, and spends time with her daughter, Ashley.
Right Doctor at Right Time is the key to Recovery.
